When it comes to counselling, choose a sober living home that offers both individual and group/family
sessions. There are some aspects of your sobriety journey that you’ll need to figure out on your own with
the help of a professional therapist. However, there are other parts of the process that you’ll need to
work through with the people who have been directly affected by your drug or alcohol use. For instance, if
your substance abuse caused you to lose your job and ability to take care of your family, it may be best to
sit down with your spouse and children and apologize for the way that your drug use has negatively
changed the family dynamic. If you’ve experienced family trauma due to something your parents, siblings
or extended family have done to you, or your entire family has gone through a tragedy that led you to
alcohol or drugs, you’ll need to discuss this in therapy sessions that will help you and all your loved ones
find the healing and resolve you need to truly start healing and living a sober life.
The journey to sobriety is very much mental, which is why practices like yoga and meditation can help you
become healthier. If you want to use holistic methods to help you achieve mental balance, a sober living
facility that offers daily meditation and yoga sessions could prove to be beneficial. It’s also a good idea to
make sure that the sober home you want to live in gives you access to a health coach or dietician so you’ll
know which foods will nourish your mind and body and help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety
that can make it more difficult to be drug-free.
